IOS 16.1 freezing my iphone 13

I updated to IOS 16.1 on my iphone 13 and it freezes up no matter what I am doing. I restart and it takes more than typical time to restart. It then freeezes up again after about 5 min or so and process starts over.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

I have an iPhone 13 (not pro) and long story short I took it to Best Buy Geek Squad. The first thing we tried fixed it. Make sure phone is backed up and reset it to factory settings. From there reinstall using the back up you most recently saved. It fixed the issue for me. Must be something wrong with the update to 16.1 that they haven’t had enough complaints about or don’t have a patch worked out for it yet. It was SO frustrating so I’m glad it got fixed.
